We’re looking for His coming,
in the clouds of heaven,
Coming back to earth
to catch away His own;
Then may we all be ready,
when midnight cry is given,
To go and reign
with Christ on His throne.
Gladly may we herald
the message
of His blessèd appearing,
Soon He’s coming in glory,
tell to one and all;
Then awake, ye saints of the Lord,
Why slumber when
the end is nearing,
But get ready for the final call.
We’re longing for the glory
that awaits the faithful,
Who shall overcome,
and ev’ry conflict win;
Press ever bravely onward,
the prize is life eternal
To all who win the fight over sin.
Gladly may we herald
the message
of His blessèd appearing,
Soon He’s coming in glory,
tell to one and all;
Then awake, ye saints of the Lord,
Why slumber when
the end is nearing,
But get ready for the final call.
We’re praying for the advent
of our blessèd Savior,
Who has promised life to all
who trust His grace;
His coming now is pending,
the message being given,
And soon we’ll see
our Lord face to face.
Gladly may we herald
the message
of His blessèd appearing,
Soon He’s coming in glory,
tell to one and all;
Then awake, ye saints of the Lord,
Why slumber when
the end is nearing,
But get ready for the final call.
We see the signs appearing
of His blessèd coming,
Lo, behold the fig leaves
now becoming green;
The Gospel of His kingdom
has gone to every nation;
That we are near
the end can be seen.
Gladly may we herald
the message
of His blessèd appearing,
Soon He’s coming in glory,
tell to one and all;
Then awake, ye saints of the Lord,
Why slumber when
the end is nearing,
But get ready for the final call.
